[Serusers] Using asterisk as a voicemail server with SER

[Samy Touati]

Hi,

I installed ser 0.8.11.rc1 along with the sems tied to the same version.
Everything installed fine and was running on the same host with different
port numbers.
The instability comes from the fact that the ser configured to receive voice
calls will just stop answering them after some time.
I looked through ethereal and no abnormal messages were generated:
I see the invite going to ser-vm on port 5071, if the user is busy or not
answering, I see the trying/ringing and the caller hears the ringing. After
a timeout the ringing stops and I get a fast busy with a 408.
Now restarting ser and ser-vm puts everything back on track, but after a
couple of hours I see this behavior again.

Also not having access to the messages but through email is somehow
inconvenient, as it assumes that I need to go and check my emails to figure
out if I do have messages.

This is why I'm looking into asterisk as they do have an IVR based system.

Again I wish I could have the time to add these features to sems as I'm
pretty sure it can do them, it's just a matter of coding them.

Samy.

Helo Samy,

you wrote on the asterisk mailing list that, sems (Ser's media server) was
unstable.
Would you like to cooperate and tell us, what where your problem, so that we
could fix them and
all users enjoy a better sems version ?

-Raphael.
